This is a change I make locally when I've been debugging my bigalloc
code as well.  There reason for that is because I want to override the
fsck.ext4 that would get used by using path hacking.  The problem was
that fsck -t ext4 will look for /sbin/fsck.ext4, where as I wanted it
to use the fsck.ext4 that was first in the PATH.

So I changed "/sbin/fsck -t $FSTYP" to "fsck.$FSTYP" and made sure
/sbin was tacked onto the path. 

It might be that the right answer is that fsck should have an
environment variable or some other way of controlling the search path
it uses to find the fsck.XXX binary.
